Being anonymous obviously doesn't help the developers of shitcoins and clones, however does the anonymity factor detract from the work of hard working developers who are making valuable contributions to the community?

Put another way, do institutional investors (within the context of supporting projects or buying aged PoW coins, not IPO/scams/PoS-premines), become deterred if the lead developer of a project is anonymous?

I wonder just how much of a bearing a developers identity has on a project.
